Event Details
The FEAR Trail Fest is a 5-mile trail race on a lollipop-loop course within Lewis Morris Park in Morristown, New Jersey.
Course Description
The route primarily follows the park's Yellow Trail. The terrain includes a mix of rocks, roots, and climbs, with a total elevation gain of approximately 600 feet. The race begins on a wide section of the Patriots Path, transitions to single-track trail for the main loop, and returns via the Patriots Path to the finish.
The event organizers state the course is designed to be suitable for first-time trail racers as well as more experienced runners. Hikers are also welcome, with a time limit of 2 hours and 30 minutes.
